Start of Civil War? Attacks Across Iraq!

[Dinner]

In Afghanistan the Taliban intially tried to use Mosques as fighting positions and as supply depotes but when it became clear the allies would attack any Mosque used for military purposes the Taliban stopped using Mosques and switched to using caves.

"Shock and Awe" was incredibly successful. It's a strategy for winning the war, not the peace. We won the war easily.

It's a bit like the nerd who scored with the babe, and wakes up in his hotel only to find she's stolen all his clothes.

I always thought that was a browser thing

So you're giving me **** and agreeing with me at the same time...

Your "style," for lack of a better word, irritates the hell out of me. You make some valid points, but you do it in an assinine way (sorta like Sava, but worse somehow).

You come off like a riled up 14 yr old. All the time. Much sound and fury, which serves to largely obscure your substance.

It's his lack of subtlety, or nuance, or even the hint he might perhaps give some understanding to the toher side, or that he is not 100% correct.

Sure, I can argue arrogantly (and do more often than not), but I think I at least have some understanding of the other side's points and do not see them with complete contempt, for no reason.

You know you have too many of these analogies that just scream personal first hand experience.

You finally used an apostrophe, and of course you used it where it doesn't belong - the nominative singular is Nazis.

Al-jazeera have some interesting pictures from Falluja. Apparently 8 women and 16 children were killed in the initial fighting. There is a photo-series of dead Iraqi children and babies. Supporters of the war should take a view.

True, except that it's the nominative plural. The nominative singular is Nazi.

Actually, no, supporters of the occupation, Tripledoc.

The war itself is over, and now you have people who opposed the war but now that's been done feel that we must see the reconstruction & transfer to democracy (or at least something vaguely resembling it) through. Me, for example.

*slap myself*

I must commend the swift number Nazi action ...

[Harovan]

Does the numerous mentioning of the word Nazi now mean, that this thread is hopelessly godwinized?

Godwin Nazi!
